am drinking green tea to help a stomach ache. I hate green tea, but it works.

Congratulate every one. Because we've all won shares of GM stock.

...realized that I hadn't posted for a week and wondered if anyone noticed.

...wondered why the weeks go by so quickly, since it doesn't seem like a week since AFOB posted, or a week that Lardy was gone.

In Lardy's case, a week just wasn't long enough...

took my intern out to lunch for her birthday ...

...am getting my car serviced, taking Hyvvie to the doggie salon, taking my plastic bottles to the recycling center, going to the CBS, getting my eyes examined and buying new shoes. I often wonder how I would get by if I didn't have a weekday off every other week.

Graduation ceremonies tonight for the high school.

...buying white rocks for the garden

... went to a cook-out.

...got soaked to the bone in a freakishly and suddenly violent thunderstorm. Seriously... like "the end times are nigh" violent.

...should try and mow at least the front lawn. Maybe the back can wait for tomorrow.

... drove a BMW.

...hope it's a slower day at work (x-rayed a lot of people Wednesday who had trouble not crashing their cars into other people).

..am taking my dog to a groomer for the first time and am nervous because the dog is very high strung and I figure I'll go pick her up and be told "Your dog is impossible!" and I'll have a half-groomed hysterical dog and, so I'm getting a little high strung myself over it. But maybe it will be okay.

...had a managers' meeting, had to deal with a grumpy patron, went home at lunch to walk Hyvvie, had to deal with another grumpy patron and then went to choir rehearsal. It was a tiring Thursday.

sit home again. Rashed out a few days ago (which got me out of summer school duty) but Doc can't figure out why, so, medicines to treat the symptoms.... won't let me sleep.

My 13 inch color tv no-longer works. Convertor box can't get a signal.

Electrical went down in the neighborhood, so I got to spend some time resetting clocks.

It's me, some library DVDs, a well thumbed copy of Watchmen (my LSH books still in storage since the fire last year), the internet and nothing to do but find message boards.

Oh wait, I get to qvetch about the Wings losing the Stanley Cup, in a game that I couldn't watch...


poor children in Africa, poor children in Africa...

sigh

am driving home from Catskill, NY and will attend the Long Island pride parade ...

...am poaching some chicken <strike>breasts</strike> chests for a late-night supper. A "Portland": Chicken, pear, toasted walnuts, blue cheese crumbles, plus homemade lemon dressing over lettuce.

...helped mr_cleome move some boxes and files to his temporary office, while he looks around for a new one.

Got new glasses and sunglasses.

Noticed Rocky was lookin' GOOD in both new pairs of specs!

Had a pretty productive day off (for me, anyway) as I:

a) took my boys out bowling.

b) went to the CBS to pick up my weekly stash.

c) mowed my junglish back yard (did the front and sides Monday before having to stop for an incoming storm).

d) did the dishes (three days worth piled up).

Who knows? Day ain't completely over yet!

Especially cool in sunglasses, Rocky.

Today I am going to buy frozen peas. That's about as exciting as it will get.

...still thinking about what might be the funniest movie I've ever seen, the Hangover. It was awesome. Too awesome for further description actually.
